Practical information

This workhsop will take place at the
station biologique of Besse (birth place of Nicolas Bourbaki) from the 12th to the 16th of February 2024. For coming you'll need to arrive in Clermont-Ferrand by the 11th of February afternoon. A bus shuttle will take you to the Station Biologique. Note neither towels nor toiletories are provided by the Station biologique.

Presentation of the workshop


This workshop aims at bringing together mostly young researchers to spend one week studying a topic in low dimensional topology. Part of the week is dedicated to detailed talks taking time to introduce the background of the theory necessary to tackle more recent questions. Time is voluntarily made available to encourage discussion that the presentations will generate.

This is the fourth edition of the series "Between the Waves". We studied relations between homological and quantum invariants in low-dimensional topology in the first edition. The second edition focused on relations between knots/knotted objects and 4-manifolds. The third edition had topic Morse and Floer theory.

The aim of this fourth edition is to detail the definition of Knot Floer homology and understand how this invariant detect the genus of knots.

We endebted to Paolo Ghiggini for his contribution to the program.
